Abstract

Gilbert Vincent : The Protestant Theology Faculty’s reception of phenomenology between the world wars. While phenomenology was yet quite unknown in France, it met with a warm welcome at the Faculty. J. Héring played a considerable role not only in welcoming and presenting it, but also as an actor in what was to be the phenomenological movement. Together with Ch. Hauter, he sought, by drawing from several of its concepts, to renew thinking in the field of religious philosophy. As participators in a movement, they managed to avoid the trap of a dogmatic approach to this school of thought. Their works, especially those of Héring, attest their endeavours to steer clear of certain idealist implications of Husserlian thought and to accentuate a methodological aspect of phenomenological inspiration.
